Staggered Rear Wheel set-up on an Audi

[iluvmercs]

I've never seen this before, until today, when I actually saw 2 Audis with a staggered wheel setup, wider at rear.

Audis are either Front Wheel Drive or 4WD, so why on earth do people do this
The designs of these wheels would look just as good with a staggered setup

Not sure this is at all related to your observations, but the (Series 1) TT quattro Sport came from the factory with wider rims, 8.5 x 18 on the back than on the front ( 8.0 x18 ) even though both front and rear had the same tyres 235/40 ... ( ! )

Popular 'look' on loads of VAG stuff mate, usually with lots of stretch and dodgy camber too

now do i detect a hint of sarcasm. There is only a part of the VAG community who insist on building cars that are to look good at the expense of function, it can be found at E38.

Staggered wheels are fine and in most cases even on FWD its better to have a wider rear track, its just the 10* camber an 165/45 over a 8J wheel is stupid imo.

Any pics of what you say?
There was quite a big meet on yesterday so possible they were returning from there.
